 HARTFORD, May 13, 1887. Especial to the JOURNAL AND CoURIER.l The faces of many senators and House members bore deep looks of disgust this af- | ternoon when it was ascertained beyond a | doubt that an adjournment of the session I could not take place tonight. The Senate | for the past few days worked hard to en- deavor to close to-day, or if necessary to hold a session on Saturday. In the Senate Sena- tor Summers recess bill was amended so as to provide for final adjournment next Thursday and then passed The House agreed to con. ! cur This of course killed all hope of ad- | journing tomorrow, and those who came ! here this morning in hopes of putting in their last days work at 1awmaking were accord ingly much dejected There was nearly a | full attendance in both House and Senate. SHE'LL FISH COMMISSIONERS. Yesterday afternoon the Senate refused to concur in the adoption of the minority report of the fisheries committee, which abolished the shell fish commission. Senator Walsh's amendment to the report was likewise re- jected. As there has been no conference committee appointed on the disagreeing vote between the House and Senate the shell fish commissioners will hold office for two years more, when they complete their unfinished labors.
 POST -MoRTEM EXAMINATIONS.
 The post-mortem bill, which passed the Senate, was passed by the House with only one amendment added. The bill was favored in the House by Dr. H. B. Steele.
